Well , friends, here we are, about to bid adieu to the
ghosts of Christmas past and gearing up for New Year’s resolutions. Don’t reflect
too much on either, but hug someone close by, find the good in today, and aspire to ______ next ______.
That’s right, you fill in the blanks. What you put there is
up to you, but write something. Humans
are aspirational creatures and we need mission more than pleasure.
I’m not sure what I’m aspiring to do in 2013. There were
some high points for me in 2012 (and
some lows), but definitely room for improvement in 2013.
What is your mission going forward? Earning more for the security of your family? Pushing forward a civic goal? Stronger
faith? Working toward inner peace,
better health, better communications
with friends? How about goals -- Filing
a patent? Writing a book? Running a marathon?
The strength of any community
(a city, a church, a company, a club) is the diversity of strengths and
aspirations of its members, offering opportunities for mutual support.
Something to think about
while standing in the return line at the department store this week!
